While the reader is left to pause over the moid succession of incidents resulting frnui the mysterious entrance of the warrior of the rleurde lis into the English fort, he it our task to explain tho circumstances con nected with the singular disappearance of Captain do llaldimar, and the melancholy murder of bit unfortunate servant. It will be recollected that the ill-fated Hal Iowa j, in the course of his defence he-fore the court martial, distinctly stated the oice of the individual who had approached Ilia post, calling on tho name of Cnp-taillde llaldimar, nn the night of the alarm, to have been that of a female, and that thclnngnnge in which they subsequently conversed was that of the Ottawa Indian.. This was strictly the fact; mid the unit errur into which the unfortunate soldier h id fallen, had reference merely to the character nnd motives of the party, lie hail naturally imagined, as ho had stated, it was ome young female of the village, whom attachment fur his officer had driven to the desperate determination of seeking an interview; nor was this impression tit all weakened by the subsequent discourse of the par-tics in tho Indian tongue, with which it WRI well known, mot of the Canadians, both male and female, were more or less conversant. The subject of that short, low, and hurried conference, was, indeed, one that well warranted the singular iutru-ion; nnd, in the declaration of llalloway, we have already seen the importance and anxiety attached by the young nilicer to the communication. Without waiting to repeat the motives nssigucd for his departure, nuil the prayers and expostulations to which he had recourse to overcome the determination anil sense of duty of the unfortunate sentinel, let us pass at once to tho moment when, after having cleared the ditch, conjointly with bis faithful follower, in the manner already shown, Captain de Hiildiinur first stood side by side with hit midnight visitant. The night, it has elsewhere been observed, was clear nud starry, so that objects upon the common, such as thn rude stump that here and there raised its dark low bead nhove the surface, might be dimly seen in the distnnoo. To obviate the danger of discovery by tho sentinels, appeared to be the first study of tho female for, when Captain do llaldiiuar, followed hy hi. ervaut, had reached the spot on which she itnnd, shu put the forefinger of one hand to her lips, nnd with the other pointed to his I booted loot. A corresponding signal show I ed that tho lightness of the material nllW-j ! l.ftl.. risk nt hi.tpnt.e.1 II IL.t. I...,...' ever, was made to ilotr bis heavy amaiuiii- j the hninh-proot, she had struck into a uar-tion shoes; and, with this precaution, they I row winding path, less seen than felt in Ihe all itolu hastily along, under the shadows ' deep gloom pervading the wood, and w ith of the projecting ramparts, until they had gained the extreme rear. Hero the female suddenly raised -Ser tall llgure from the tooping position in which site, as well as ! her companions, had perlormed the danger-out circuit; and, placing her linger once mnre significantly on her lip, led in the direction of ttie bomb-proof, iinpcrccivcd hy the sentinels, most of whom, it is probable, had, up to the moment of the alarm lubseqtiently given, been too much overcome by previous watching and excitement to have kept the most vigilant took out. Arrived at the skirt of tho forest, the little pnrty drew tip within the shadow of the ruin, and a short and earnest dialogue coined, in Indian, between thu female nnd the officer. This was succeeded by n com-mnud from the latter to his servant, who, after a momentary but respectful expostu lation, which, however, was utterly lost on him to whom it was addressed, proceeded to divest himself of his hiimolc apparel, assuming in exchange tho morn elegant uniform of his superior. Douelluu, who was alio of the grenadiers, was remarkable for the resemblance ho bore, in figure, to Captain de ll ildiniar; wanting, it is true, the grace nnd freedom uf movement uf the latter, but still presenting nil outline which, in an attitude of profound repose, might, as it subsequently diil, have set even tbosu who were mujt intimate with thu oilicer, lit fault. "Thil is well," observed the female, as the young man proceeded to induct himself in tho gray coat of bis servant, having pre-viously drawn tho ginned but close over his waving niil redundant hair; "if the Saga-Daw ii ready, Oucnnasta will go," "Sure, and your honor doei not mnno to lava uio behind?" exclaimed tho anxious soldier, as bis captain now recommended him t.' stand closely concealed near the ruin ifntil his return. "Who knows udiul ambuscade tlni she-devil may lade your honor into; nnd thin who will you have to brinir you out of it !" "No, Donolluu, it must not be; I first intended it, as you may perceive hy my bringing you out; hut the expedition on which 1 am going is of the utmost importance to us all, and too much precaution cannot he taken. I fear no ambuscade, for 1 can depend on the lidelily of my guide; but the presence ol a third person would only embarrass, without assisting me in the least. Vou must remain behind; the woman insists upon it, and there i uu more to he said." "To i old Xirk with the ugly winch, for her pains!" half muttered tin;ili-nppuiu-ted nldir to himself. "I wisli it may be as your honor says; but my mind mi-gives me sadly that evil will come of this, lias your honor secured the pistols!" "They are here,'' returned his captain, placing a hand on either chest. "And now, Douellau, mark me; I know nothing that can detain me longer than an hour; at least thu woman assures me, nud 1 believe her, that 1 may he hack then; hut it is well to guard nguinst accidents. You : i...... r... .1... i - t f..- the hour only. If I come not then, re- turn to the fort without delay, for the rope must be removed, and the gate secured, hi fore llalloway is relieved. The keys you will find in the pocket of my uniform ; when you have done with them, let them he hung up in their proper place in the guard room. My father must not know either that llalloway sullered mu to pass the gate-, or that you accompanied mo." "Lord love us! your honor talks as if you nivcr wuuhl return, giving such a heap of orders!" exclaimed the startled man; "hut if I go back alone, us I trust in heaven 1 shall not, bow am I to account for being dressed in your honor's rigimintals?" "I tell you, Douellau," impatiently returned the oilicer, "that I -hall he hack; hut I only wish to guard ngiiin-t accidents. The instant you get into the fort, you will take off my clothes nud resume your own. Who the devil is to see vou in the uniform', unless it be H i lowuy I "If the Sugannw would not see the earth red with the hlood of his race, he will go," interrupted the female, 'Oucatuistu can feel the breath of the morning fresh upon her cheek, and the council uf the chiefs must be begun." "The Sugunnw is ready, and Oucnnasta shall lend the way," hastily returned the oilicer. "One word more, Dnnclhiu," and Impressed the hand of his domestic kindly, "should I not return, you must, without committing II illowuy or yourself, cause my father to he apprised that the Indians meditate n deep and treacherom plan to gel possession of the fort. What that plan is, 1 know not yet myself, neither does this womnn know ; hut she says that I shall hear it discussed unseen, even in the heart of their own enenmpment. All you have to do is to ncquniut my father with the exis tence of danger. And now he cautious: above all things, keep close under the sha- low of the boiuh-proof ; for there are scouts constantly prowling about the common, and the glittering ol the uuilorm in the starlight may betray you.'' "Hut why may I not follow your honor!'' ngaiii urged the faithful soldier ; "nud where is the use of my remaining here to count the stars, nnd hear the 'all's well !' Iroin the for'., when I could be so much better employed in guarding your honor from harm! What sort of protection can that Indian woman alford, who is of the race of our bitterest enemies, them cursed Oltuwus; nnd your honor venturing, too, like a spy, into the ry heart of the blood-hounds J Ah, Cap tain ib; llaldimar, for the love of ttod, do not trust yourself alone with her, or I am sure I shall never see vour honor again !" The last words (unhappily too prophetic) tell only on the ear ol him who uttered them. The female nud the nilicer had al ready disappeared round an abrupt angle of the homh-proof; nnd the soldier, a. di rected hy his master, now drew up his tall figure against the ruin, where hi! continued for a period immovable, as if he had been planted there in his ordinary character of sentinel, listening, until they eventually lied away in distance, to the receding fool- steps of his master; and thru ruminating on tin! several llppn-1 si,,ns that crowded on his mind, in regard to the probable is- ol Ins adventurous prop-cl. Meanwhile, ("apt uu de llaldimar and his guide tr.id the mazes of the fore-t, with an i'iedllioli that proved Hie latter to be wi ll acquainted with its bearings. On nnittiiig light steos hoiiniliug over nb-t.iele that lav strewed it) tlieir eour-e, emitting scarcely more sound than would h. Ml produced by theslimy crawl of its native r.itt!esn,ik Not so, however, with the le-s experienced tread of her companion. Wanting the pliancy of movement given to it hy the light mocassin, the hooted foot of the young oilicer, despite of hii precaution, fell heavily to the ground, producing such a ru-lliug uuioiig the dried leaves, that, had an Indian ear been lurking any where around, his approach must inevitably have been betrayed. .More than once, too, neglecting to follow the injunction of Ins eooip anion, who moved in a stooping po-ture, with her head bent over her chest, his hat was caught in the closely matted branches, and fell sullenly and heavily to the earth, evidently much to tin discomfiture of his guide. At length they ( I on the verge of a dark and precipitous ravine, the abrupt sides ol which wen studded with undervood so com-oletely interwoven that ilU e- ' s lpiiciireil impracticable. What, however, seemed nu in.siiriuouuluhlo obstacle, proved, in reality, an inestimable advantage; for it w is by clinging to this, in imitation uf the cxuuijdc .el him hy bis companion, tins young nilicer was prevented from rolling into uu abyss, the depth of which was lo.t in the profound obscurity that pervaded the scene. Through the bed of tins 1 1 l r If dell rolled a narrow stream, so imperceptible to the eye in the 'living darkness,' and so noiseless in its course, that it was not until warned by his companion he st I on the very brink of it, Captain dc llaldimar was made sensible of its .existence. Iloth cleared it nt a single bound, in which Ihe activity of tho female was not the least conspicuous, and, clambering up the opposite steep, secured their footing, by the aid of the same underwood that had assisted them in their descent.On gaining the other summit, which was not done wil bout detaching several loose stones from their sandy bed, they ugain fell into the path, which had been lost sight ol in traversing the ravine. They bad proceeded along this about half n mile, when the ii-malo .suddenly stopped, and pointing ton dim and lurid atmosphere that now began to how itself between the thin foliage, whispered thai in the opening beyond stood the encampment of tin Indians. She then seated herself on the trunk of a fallen tree, that lay at the side of the almost invi-ible path they had hitherto pursued, and mo- tiolii'r- te hi proci eded to f-i-ipai-ion to unhoi-t himself, unlace the fastenin -s of her mocn-.ins, " The foot of the Sugunnw must fall like tin; night dew on the prairie," she observed ; "the ear of the red skin is quicker than thu lightning, and he will know that a pale face is near, if he hear but his trend upon a blade ol grass." The young oilicer had, at the firt suggestion of his guide, divested himself of his hoots preoared to perform the remainder f the journey merely ill his stockings; hut his companion now threw herself on her knees betore h i in, nud, without further ceremony, proceeded to draw over his foot one of the mocassin, she had just relinquished. " The feet of the Sagunnw are soft ns those ()f sl young child," she remarked, in a voice of c nimni-eral ion ; "hut the mocassins of Oucauastn shall protect them from the thorns of the forest." This was too iiu-l-)iiropean, loo much rever-iug the established order of things, to he home patiently. As if he had felt the dignity of his manhood olfended hy the proposal, the officer drew his foot hastily hack, declaring, us he sprang from the log, he did not care lor the thorns, and could not think of depriving u female, who must be much more sensible of pain than himself. Oilcanasta, however, was mil to be outdone in politeness. She calmly reseated herself on the log, drew her right foot over her left knee, caught one of the bunds id' her companion, nud placing it upon the naked sole, desired him to feel how impervious to attack of every description was that indurated portion of the lower limb. This practical argument was not without its weight, and had more etrecl in deciding the oilicer than a volume of remonstrance. When Captain de llaldimar had passed his unwilling hand over the foot id Oucanasta, which, whatever her face might have been, was certainly any thing hut delicate, rniil encountered numerous ragged excrescences and raspy callosities that set all symmetry at defiance, n wonderful revolution came over Ins feelings; and secretly determining the inoca-sins would be e- quatiy .veil piaceit on Ins own leet, lie no longer ntliTed any opposition. This important point arranged, the officer once more followed his guide in silence, (tradually the fore-t, ns they advanced, became lighter with the lurid atmosphere he-fore nlluded to; and at length, through the trees, could be indistinctly seen the luiliaii lires from winch it proceeded. The young man was now de-ired by his conductress to il-e (be utmost circumspection in making the circuit of the wood, in order to gain a position immediately oppo-ile to the point where the path they had hitherto pursued terminated in the opening. This, indeed, was the most dangerous and critical part of the undertaking. A false step, or the crackling of a decayed branch beneath the foot, would have been suilicient to betray proximity, in which case his d n was sealed. l''ortunute did ho now deem himself in having yielded to the c 'el of his guide. Had he retained his unbending hoot, it must have crushed whatever it pressed; whereas, the pliant mocas-iu, yielding to the obstacles it encountered, enabled him to pass noiselessly over them. Still, while exempt from danger on this score, nuother, scarcely less perplexing, became at every instant more obvious; for, as they drew nearer to the point which the female sought to gam, t lis i li tn light of the half-slumbering tires t - J 1 so immediately upon their path, that had a single human e)e been turned in that direction, their di-eovery was inevitable. It was with a beating heart, to which mere per-otial fear, boweier, w-is a stranger, that Captain de Haldi r pertor d this concluding stnge of his adventurous course; but, at ll moment when he considered detection unavoidable, nud was arming himself witli resolution to meet the event, the li-male -uddenly halted, placing, ill the net, the trunk of an enormous beech between her companion and the dusky forms within, whose very breathing could he heard hy Ihe anxious oilicer. Without uttering a word, she took Ins hand, and, drawing biui gently forward, disappeared altogether Irom his view. The young man followed, nnd in the next moment t'oillid hiill-l-lf in the bowelless body o the tree itself; into which, on the -idc of the encampment, holll light nnd sound were admitted by a small aperture lormcd by the natural decay of the wood. The Indian pressed her lips to the ear of lo-r companion, and rather breathed than nin i ne .saganaw win sec mni i,(.;lr i-vc- licari let lii nt treasure in Ins heart. Oucanasta must go. When the council is over shu wilt return, anil h ad him back to bis warriors," With this brief intimation she departed, I anil so noiselessly, iinu llio young nilicer j was not aware uf her absence until some uiilnlles ol silence bad satisfied him she I must begone. His first care then was lo j survey, through the aperture that lay in a level with bis cy e, ttie character of the scene before him. The small plain, in winch lay the encampment of the Indian, was a sort of oasis of the forest, girt round with a rude belt of underwood, nnd somewhat elevated, "o us to present tin! appearance of a mound, constructed on the first principles of art. This was thickly, although irregularly studded with tents, sonic of which were formed of large course mats thrown over poles disposed in u conical shape, while others with more rudely composed of the leafy brandies of the forest. Within these, groups of human tonus lay wrapped in their blankets, stretched at their l.i.y lengili. Others, with their leol placed close to tho dying embers of their lires, diverged like so many radii from their center, and lay motionless in sleep, ns if life nnd consciousness were wholly extinct. Here and there wns to Im seen n solitary warrior securing, wild admirable mjilncss,'ai.J wild delicate ligatures formed of thn si now. of the deer, the "Hiding- feather, or ta.-'hinniiio- t lin bony liurb of his long- arrow; while others, with the fniw, warlike -spirit, in view, uui-ployed themselves in cutting and ruasin' "iiinll patches of smoked deerskin, which wore to secure anil tjivo a more certain di-reel ion to the murderous bullet. Among the warriors were interspersed tunny women, some of whom tingld be seen supporting in their laps tin heavy heads of tlieir unconscious helpmates, while they occupiedthein-selv-es, hy ihe lireliirlit, in parting tho long hl.-icl; in-itleil Inir, and inanitiiiniiijr n (Instructive warliire .-loaiust tliepiirmy inhabitants of that, dark region. These fijjiisul litis nod a"tivi!y in tho buds- -.'tho emu wiii-rally were, however, lint lew iitnlue-e.-isiotuil; hut, at the print wlicro (,'aptuin lie llahli imr stood concealed, the sccno was diil'erent. At a lew yards from tho tree stood a sort of shed, composed of tall poles placed uprii'ht in the cai'lli, nnd siipporlino n roof tunned siinplv of rude botiirlis, the loliiirn nf which had been withered hy time. I Ins simple I'llllice inl'Mit he It bout httv leet in eireitnili'rence. In the center blaH'-d n Inron lire that had been newly fed, nnd around this were assembled n hand of swarthy warriors, snuie twenty nr thirty in iiiiiii!it, who, hy their proud, calm, and tli'iiiltliil'ul bonnnjj, might at once be known to be duels. The laces nf most nf these were fltiniliir to the youno otlieer, who speedily reeog ni.ed fheiu tiir the principals of the various tribes I'onte.-ic had loni-uod in arms tioiiiiis his enemies. That chief himself, ever remarkable for his Iniighly eyo and coin-iiinnilinjr oorture, was of the number of those present; and, n little iilnof Iroin his inleriors, sat, witli his Ibet, slp-telicd towards. Ihe lire, nnd half reclining on his side in nil altitude nt ind ilen a; yet with his mind evidently engrossed hy deep nud absorbing thought. Front so ue observations that distinctly met Ins ear, Captain do llaliliuinr gathered, the parly were only awaiting the arrival of nil important character, without whose presence the lendino chief was unwilling the enntorenco shnuhl beoin. The p riod of the nllieer's concealment hud just been long enouli to en able biui to li.v all these particulars in bis mind, when suddenly the faint report, of a distant rille was heard echoing throughout, the wood. This was instantly succeeded by n second, that sounded morn sharply nn the ear; nud then f dlow d a long and piercing ry tint brought every warrior, even of those who slept, quickly to Ins leet. An nnxiniH interval nf some minutes passed nvvay in the lixoil and listening attitudes, which Ihe (duels (.'specially had assumed, when a noin! resembling that nf smne animal forcing its way rapidly through the rustling branches, was faintly heard in the directum in which the shots h-ul been tired. This gradually nicrea-en as it evi dently approached llio eneampu'nt, and then, distinctly, could be beard the light yet unguarded bounding nf a Im nan fool. t every moment the rustling of the underwood, rapidly divided by the approach-ing term, hoenno more audible; nnd so closely dpi the intruder pr-'ss upon the point in which Cup'aiu ile I lalilnnar was eoueealeil, that that, oilicer, fineyiiig ho h id been betrayed, turned lustily round, nud, grasping one of tin! pistols he had secreted in his chest, prepared himself for a last nnd deadly eu mt r. An instant, or two was suilicient to re-assure him. The for u glided hastily pa t, brushing the tree with Ms garments in its course, and clearing, at a single hound, the bolt of nnderiv I that divided the encampment from t!".' tall Ibrest, stood suddenly among the group uf anxious and expectant chiels. This individual, n man of tall slature, was powerfully mail". Ho wore a jerkin, nr hunting-coat nf leather; nn.l his arms were, n rille which h id every nppearance it Having ptst been discharged, a toina uawK re ug ,.,, moon, nun a scalping , Kline, winch, in the hurry nt some recent service it had been made to perlhrin, had missed its sheath, nnd was thru-t naked into the belt that encircled his loins, 1 1 is countenance wore an expression of malignant triumph; nud ns his eye f-ll on the assembled throng, its se!'-saiislied and exulting gl luce seemed to give them to understand he cauio not without credentials to recommend him to their notice. Cip. tain de llildimir was pirticulurly struck by the air of bold daring and almost insolent recklessness pervading every move- ii t of this man: and it was ilnTc'iill In say whether the haughtiness of bearing peculiar tn l'oiite-ic hiius-lf, was not exceeded by that of this herculean warrior, II.' Ihe Ii nly of chiefs his niipea ranee had been greeted with a mere general grunt "I , appm,,-,,on; but the countenance ol Ihe : leader expressed a more personal interest. ' Ml seemed to expect Im bad something of, moment to c-mimiiuie-iie; tint as it was not consistent, wtlli th" dignity of Indian enqueue to inquire, they waited calmly until ii..hould please tlieir n-sv assneut-! to enter n:i th" hi-slnry of Ins exploits. In pursuance of an invitation from 1'ontoie, he now tool; bis se n on the right hand of tint chief, and iinmedi it -lv facing the tree, I'rnni which Captain de II i iniar. strongly ex eileil both by the reports ol the .shots t It had been lir.-d. and the sight of the bloody loin aha .vk of liie rec-'iiily arrived Indian, ga.ed earnestly and anxiuusly on the swarthy throng. (I'liinciug nncn more triumphantly round the circle, who sat smoking their pipes in calm and delib erativo silence, tho latter now observed the eyo of n young chief, who sat opposite to him, intently riveted on his loll shoulder, lie raised his ham! to the part, withdrew it, looked nt it, and loiind it wet wild, blond. A slight start of surprise betrayed his own uncouscinusuess of llio accident; yot, secretly vexed nt the discovery which bid been tnide, nnd urged probably hy mio nf his wayward fits, he demanded haughtily and insultingly of the young chief, if that was Ilie first nnio do had ever looked on the hlo id of a warrior. "Diesiny brother leol pain!" was the taunting reply. "If he is come to us with atrophy, it is not wilh mt being dourly bought. ThoSigunaw has spill his blood." "Tho weapons ol the Saganaw, lili-i t hose nfihe smooth face nl'tlie Olla-va, are wjtd out sting," angrily retorted tho other. " They only prick the skin like a tliorn; hut when Wacoiista drinks Ile) blood of bis enemy," and he glanced Ilis eye fiercely at the young man, "ii is tho blood next his heart." ".My brother lias always big words upon his lips," relumed tho yuiui' chief, wild ti scornful ptieer nt the implied tlirent nonius! himself. "H it whero nro his proofs!" l'Vir a moment the eye nf llio party llius ohalli'tiircil kindled into llnue, while Ins lipsj were firmly compressed tog-'ther; nnd ns bo half bent himself forward, to senn with greater earnestness llio (natures of bis questioner, his right hand sank to his loft side, tightly grasping the handle of his scrtlping-knile. Tho not ion wns but momentary. Again ho drew himself tip, pulled tho smoke deliberately from h:s bloody tomahawk, and, thru-ling bis riolit hand into his bosom, drew leisurely forth a reeking scalp, which he tossed insol -ill 1 y ncross the lire into the lap of the young chief. A loud and oeneral "ugh!" testilid the appro bation nf the assembled group, at, the unequivocal answer thus given to the demand nt the youth. I he eye of the huge war rior cparliled wi'.li a deep and fciociuus ex ultation "What saystlio smooth face of tho Otto-was now!" bo demanded, in ihe sninn in solent strain. "Does it make his lcnrl sick In look upon tho scalp of a gieat chief!" The Voting man quietly turned the hor rid trophy over several times in his hand. examining it attentively in every part I hen tossing it hack with contemptuous cnohioss to its owner, he replied "The eyes of jny brother tiro wenk with aire, lie is not cunning, like a red skin. The Ottawa lias often seen the Sugunnw in their fori, and he know a tlieir chiefs, have h'no hair like women; but this is like the bristles of the fox. My brother has not, slain n great chief, hut n common warrior." A Hush of irrepressible nnd threatening nnger passed over the leatiiix's of the vast savage, "Is it for a boy," ha fiercely asked, "whoso eyes know not yet the. color nf blood, to judge of the enemies that !Vl by tho tomahawk nf Waooustu! but a great warrior never lionsts of actions that he does not nchieve. It is the son nf the great chief ol' tho Sugunnw whom he has slain. If the smooth face doubts it, and hns cour-ngo to venture, even nt night, within a hundred yards of the fort, he will see a -Saganaw without a scalp; nnd ho will know that Saginaw by his dies-- the dress," lio pursued, with a low omphalic laugh, "that Oucauastn, the sister of the smoolli face, loved so much to look upon." lluicker than thought was the upspring "' ,lr J"".1"-' " fml- W".n i cheek glowing, nn eye llislnng, nnd hi gloamingtniunhawk whirling rapidly round his head, he cleared nt n single hound the lire that separated him from 11,'s juultor. Trie formidable man who hail thus wantonly provoked the attack, was equally prompt in iiieeiing it. At Ihe liri-l movement of tho youth, he too bad leapt to his feet, nnd brandished the terrible weapon that served in the double capacity of pipe anil balded. lioreo yell escaped the lips of each, as they thus met in close and ductile collision, anil the scene Ihr the moment promised to he one nf the most trngio diameter; but before either cnidd lind tin assailable point on which to rest his (iiruiidablo weapon, I'nutoac himself had thruwtt his person between them, and ill a voice of thunder commanded the instant uhaiu'onincnt of their purpose. I'.xasporated even as they now mutually were, the influence of that authority, lor which the great chief of the Ottaw-is wns well known, was in t. without due eff'Ct on the comb Hants. His auger was principally directed against the assailant, on whom the tones of his reproving voice produced n change the intimidation of bis powerful opponent could never have ell'cted. Tho young chief dropped the point of his tomahawk; b iwed bis head in submission; nnd then resuming his seat, sat luring tin; remainder of tho night with bis i ir us lidded, nnd his head bunt in silence ; nvr bis chest. i "O ir brother lias done well," said Pun leae, glancing approvingly at him who had t,M,;,ml t,0 re(.kin,r tr,M),., n, whml hc evidently favored.

I''roin the account given by the warrior, there could be nu doubt, th) murdered man was the unhappy llonollan; who, probably, neglecting the caution given him, h id exposed himself to the murderous aim ol thus liorcu being, who was apparently a scout sent for the purp os-! of watching the movements uf tho garrison.

I'd 'ro was nn nc-livity about the young chief amply commensurate with the greal physical power ol his adversary; while tho manner in which ha wielded his tomahawk, proved him to lie any think but the novice in tho use of this lormidabla weapon tin: other had represented him. It was with a leeling ofdis-nppoiiitinent, therelore, wliioli tho peculiarity of bis own position could not overcome, he saw I'outeac iulerposo hnnscll between tho parties. presently, however, a subject of deeper and more absorbing interest than even the fate of liis unhappy lollowor, engrossed overy faculty of his mind, nnd riveted bulb eye and ear in painful tension to Ilia aperture in bis didiug-pl ice. The chiels had resumed their places, and tho silence of a lew minutes had succeeded to tin) lierce utfray nf the warriors; when l'onteue, in a calm and deliberate voice, proceeded to state bo had suuinioneil till the liendsoflhe nation together, to hear a plan do dad to nller for the reduction ol llio last remaining lorls of tlieir civ-mien, .Miehilliui ickuiac and Detroit. Ile pointed nut the tedious-nes of the wiirlnre in w lneli they wore engaged; tdo dcjtfrliou of the limiting- grounds by their warriors; nnd tlp'ir consequent deficiency in nil those articles of t'.uropean trallie which they were tornierly in the liabit of receiving ill exchange for their furs. He dwelt oil the beneficial results that would necri e to ihoui nil in the event of the reduction of those (wo iinpor-tnnt fortresses; since, in that case, they wntihl bo enabled to make such terms with the Knglish ns would secure to them considerable advantages; while, in-lead of being treated with the indignity of a conquered people, they would bo enabled to command respect from the imposing attitude this linal crowning of their successes would enable them to assume. Ho stated that the prudence nid vigilance of tho commanders of these two unreduced fortresses were likely long to bailie, ns had hitherto been the c ise, every open nttemnt nt their capture; and admitted ho had In tie expectation of terrifying idem into n surrender by the panic artilico that had succeeded with the forts on the Ohio nnd Ihe lower lakes. Ihe plan, however, w hich he had to propose, wis one ho fell nsurod would be attenikd with success. Ile would disclose that plan, and the great chiefs should give it tho lid-vantage of tlieir deliberation. Captain ile llahliinar was on the rack. The chief had grndunlly dropped his voice as he explained his plan, until nt length it became so low, that undistingiiisluible sounds nluno reached the car of tho excited oilicer. Kor a moment ho despaired of making himself fully master nf llio important secret; hut in the course of ilie deliberation that ensued, the blanks left uriEtip-plied in tho discourse uf tho leader were abundantly filled up. It was what the rea !er has already seen. The necessities nf the Indians were tube urged as a motive lor tlieir being tired of hostilities. A pence was lo bo solicited; a council held; a ball-playing numng the warriors proposed, ns n mark of their own sincerity and confidence during that council; nud when the garrison, lulled into security, should be thrown entirely oir their guard, iho warriors were to seiz their guns nnd tomahawks, with which (Ihe former cut short, for the better cnncenlinent of tlieir purpose) lb "ir women would be provided, rush in, under pretext of regaining their lost ball; when n univer-snl massacre uf men, women, and children wns to ensue, until nothing wearing the garb of n Saganaw should b"left. It would be tedious lo follow the cbiel through till the minor raniilicaiioiis of bis subtle plan. Sullies it they were of a nature to throw the most wary oil' his guard; and so admirably arranged wns every part, so certain did it, appear tlr'ir enemies must give into the snare, tint the oldest chiefs testilied tlieir iiti:irohaltnn with it vivneily nf manner nnd expression little wont to har.icterize the deliberative meetings of theso reserved people. Hut deepost of all was the approval ol tho till warrior who bad so recently arrived. To him had the discours-; of the leader been principally directed, ns one whoso counsel nnd experience were especially wanting toconlirm him in Ins purpose. II ! wns the last who spoke; but, when he did, it was with n force an energy that must have sunk very olqectioii, even it the plan bad not b"cn so perli'ct nnd unexceptionable ill its roncoctinti ns to have precluded n possibility of all negative argument. During the delivery of his nui mated sp'ecli, his sw art by countenance kindled into fierce and rapidly varyingoxprcssiuil. A thousand dark and complicated passions evidently struggled nt his he.-irl; and as be dwelt leisurely unit emphatically on the saeriticcnf human life that must inevitably attend the adoption of the proposed measure, his eye grew larger, his chest expanded, nay, his very nostril ap- areil to dilate with iiutatboin ably ginloiul exultation. Captain do llaldiiuar thought lie had never gazed nn any thing, wearing the human shape, hall'so atrociou-ly savage. Long bef -re the council was terminated, ike inlerior warriors, who dad been sosud- lenty nrouseu Iroin tlieir slumbering nttt- Itides, h id again retired lo their tents, and stretched their lazy length before tde em hers of their lires. Tde weary chiefs now prepared to follow their example. They emptied the ashes from the bowls uf their pijie-totnaliawks, replaced them carefully at their side, rose, and retired to their respective tents. I'ontene am) tho tall warrior iilona remained. I'W a time they conversed earnestly together. The dinner listened attentively to some observations made to dim hy liis companion, in tde course of which, tho words "chief nf the -S iginaw fort spy enemy," and two or. threo others equally unconnected, were alone audible to the ear of him who so attentively sought lo catch the slightest soiimi. no then thrust ins Hand under his UOU, Ua II III I.IMIIMIM'IIII.11 .11 I what bo had been stating, exhibited a coil of rope and the glossy boot of nn I'mglish oilicer.

While the reader is left to pause over the moid succession of incidents resulting frnui the mysterious entrance of the warrior of the rleurde lis into the English fort, he it our task to explain tho circumstances con nected with the singular disappearance of Captain do llaldimar, and the melancholy murder of bit unfortunate servant. It will be recollected that the ill-fated Hal Iowa j, in the course of his defence he-fore the court martial, distinctly stated the oice of the individual who had approached Ilia post, calling on tho name of Cnp-taillde llaldimar, nn the night of the alarm, to have been that of a female, and that thclnngnnge in which they subsequently conversed was that of the Ottawa Indian.. This was strictly the fact; mid the unit errur into which the unfortunate soldier h id fallen, had reference merely to the character nnd motives of the party, lie hail naturally imagined, as ho had stated, it was ome young female of the village, whom attachment fur his officer had driven to the desperate determination of seeking an interview; nor was this impression tit all weakened by the subsequent discourse of the par-tics in tho Indian tongue, with which it WRI well known, mot of the Canadians, both male and female, were more or less conversant. The subject of that short, low, and hurried conference, was, indeed, one that well warranted the singular iutru-ion; nnd, in the declaration of llalloway, we have already seen the importance and anxiety attached by the young nilicer to the communication. Without waiting to repeat the motives nssigucd for his departure, nuil the prayers and expostulations to which he had recourse to overcome the determination anil sense of duty of the unfortunate sentinel, let us pass at once to tho moment when, after having cleared the ditch, conjointly with bis faithful follower, in the manner already shown, Captain de Hiildiinur first stood side by side with hit midnight visitant. The night, it has elsewhere been observed, was clear nud starry, so that objects upon the common, such as thn rude stump that here and there raised its dark low bead nhove the surface, might be dimly seen in the distnnoo. To obviate the danger of discovery by tho sentinels, appeared to be the first study of tho female for, when Captain do llaldiiuar, followed hy hi. ervaut, had reached the spot on which she itnnd, shu put the forefinger of one hand to her lips, nnd with the other pointed to his I booted loot. A corresponding signal show I ed that tho lightness of the material nllW-j ! l.ftl.. risk nt hi.tpnt.e.1 II IL.t. I...,...' ever, was made to ilotr bis heavy amaiuiii- j the hninh-proot, she had struck into a uar-tion shoes; and, with this precaution, they I row winding path, less seen than felt in Ihe all itolu hastily along, under the shadows ' deep gloom pervading the wood, and w ith of the projecting ramparts, until they had gained the extreme rear. Hero the female suddenly raised -Ser tall llgure from the tooping position in which site, as well as ! her companions, had perlormed the danger-out circuit; and, placing her linger once mnre significantly on her lip, led in the direction of ttie bomb-proof, iinpcrccivcd hy the sentinels, most of whom, it is probable, had, up to the moment of the alarm lubseqtiently given, been too much overcome by previous watching and excitement to have kept the most vigilant took out. Arrived at the skirt of tho forest, the little pnrty drew tip within the shadow of the ruin, and a short and earnest dialogue coined, in Indian, between thu female nnd the officer. This was succeeded by n com-mnud from the latter to his servant, who, after a momentary but respectful expostu lation, which, however, was utterly lost on him to whom it was addressed, proceeded to divest himself of his hiimolc apparel, assuming in exchange tho morn elegant uniform of his superior. Douelluu, who was alio of the grenadiers, was remarkable for the resemblance ho bore, in figure, to Captain de ll ildiniar; wanting, it is true, the grace nnd freedom uf movement uf the latter, but still presenting nil outline which, in an attitude of profound repose, might, as it subsequently diil, have set even tbosu who were mujt intimate with thu oilicer, lit fault. "Thil is well," observed the female, as the young man proceeded to induct himself in tho gray coat of bis servant, having pre-viously drawn tho ginned but close over his waving niil redundant hair; "if the Saga-Daw ii ready, Oucnnasta will go," "Sure, and your honor doei not mnno to lava uio behind?" exclaimed tho anxious soldier, as bis captain now recommended him t.' stand closely concealed near the ruin ifntil his return. "Who knows udiul ambuscade tlni she-devil may lade your honor into; nnd thin who will you have to brinir you out of it !" "No, Donolluu, it must not be; I first intended it, as you may perceive hy my bringing you out; hut the expedition on which 1 am going is of the utmost importance to us all, and too much precaution cannot he taken. I fear no ambuscade, for 1 can depend on the lidelily of my guide; but the presence ol a third person would only embarrass, without assisting me in the least. Vou must remain behind; the woman insists upon it, and there i uu more to he said." "To i old Xirk with the ugly winch, for her pains!" half muttered tin;ili-nppuiu-ted nldir to himself. "I wisli it may be as your honor says; but my mind mi-gives me sadly that evil will come of this, lias your honor secured the pistols!" "They are here,'' returned his captain, placing a hand on either chest. "And now, Douellau, mark me; I know nothing that can detain me longer than an hour; at least thu woman assures me, nud 1 believe her, that 1 may he hack then; hut it is well to guard nguinst accidents. You : i...... r... .1... i - t f..- the hour only. If I come not then, re- turn to the fort without delay, for the rope must be removed, and the gate secured, hi fore llalloway is relieved. The keys you will find in the pocket of my uniform ; when you have done with them, let them he hung up in their proper place in the guard room. My father must not know either that llalloway sullered mu to pass the gate-, or that you accompanied mo." "Lord love us! your honor talks as if you nivcr wuuhl return, giving such a heap of orders!" exclaimed the startled man; "hut if I go back alone, us I trust in heaven 1 shall not, bow am I to account for being dressed in your honor's rigimintals?" "I tell you, Douellau," impatiently returned the oilicer, "that I -hall he hack; hut I only wish to guard ngiiin-t accidents. The instant you get into the fort, you will take off my clothes nud resume your own. Who the devil is to see vou in the uniform', unless it be H i lowuy I "If the Sugannw would not see the earth red with the hlood of his race, he will go," interrupted the female, 'Oucatuistu can feel the breath of the morning fresh upon her cheek, and the council uf the chiefs must be begun." "The Sugunnw is ready, and Oucnnasta shall lend the way," hastily returned the oilicer. "One word more, Dnnclhiu," and Impressed the hand of his domestic kindly, "should I not return, you must, without committing II illowuy or yourself, cause my father to he apprised that the Indians meditate n deep and treacherom plan to gel possession of the fort. What that plan is, 1 know not yet myself, neither does this womnn know ; hut she says that I shall hear it discussed unseen, even in the heart of their own enenmpment. All you have to do is to ncquniut my father with the exis tence of danger. And now he cautious: above all things, keep close under the sha- low of the boiuh-proof ; for there are scouts constantly prowling about the common, and the glittering ol the uuilorm in the starlight may betray you.'' "Hut why may I not follow your honor!'' ngaiii urged the faithful soldier ; "nud where is the use of my remaining here to count the stars, nnd hear the 'all's well !' Iroin the for'., when I could be so much better employed in guarding your honor from harm! What sort of protection can that Indian woman alford, who is of the race of our bitterest enemies, them cursed Oltuwus; nnd your honor venturing, too, like a spy, into the ry heart of the blood-hounds J Ah, Cap tain ib; llaldimar, for the love of ttod, do not trust yourself alone with her, or I am sure I shall never see vour honor again !" The last words (unhappily too prophetic) tell only on the ear ol him who uttered them. The female nud the nilicer had al ready disappeared round an abrupt angle of the homh-proof; nnd the soldier, a. di rected hy his master, now drew up his tall figure against the ruin, where hi! continued for a period immovable, as if he had been planted there in his ordinary character of sentinel, listening, until they eventually lied away in distance, to the receding fool- steps of his master; and thru ruminating on tin! several llppn-1 si,,ns that crowded on his mind, in regard to the probable is- ol Ins adventurous prop-cl. Meanwhile, ("apt uu de llaldimar and his guide tr.id the mazes of the fore-t, with an i'iedllioli that proved Hie latter to be wi ll acquainted with its bearings. On nnittiiig light steos hoiiniliug over nb-t.iele that lav strewed it) tlieir eour-e, emitting scarcely more sound than would h. Ml produced by theslimy crawl of its native r.itt!esn,ik Not so, however, with the le-s experienced tread of her companion. Wanting the pliancy of movement given to it hy the light mocassin, the hooted foot of the young oilicer, despite of hii precaution, fell heavily to the ground, producing such a ru-lliug uuioiig the dried leaves, that, had an Indian ear been lurking any where around, his approach must inevitably have been betrayed. .More than once, too, neglecting to follow the injunction of Ins eooip anion, who moved in a stooping po-ture, with her head bent over her chest, his hat was caught in the closely matted branches, and fell sullenly and heavily to the earth, evidently much to tin discomfiture of his guide. At length they ( I on the verge of a dark and precipitous ravine, the abrupt sides ol which wen studded with undervood so com-oletely interwoven that ilU e- ' s lpiiciireil impracticable. What, however, seemed nu in.siiriuouuluhlo obstacle, proved, in reality, an inestimable advantage; for it w is by clinging to this, in imitation uf the cxuuijdc .el him hy bis companion, tins young nilicer was prevented from rolling into uu abyss, the depth of which was lo.t in the profound obscurity that pervaded the scene. Through the bed of tins 1 1 l r If dell rolled a narrow stream, so imperceptible to the eye in the 'living darkness,' and so noiseless in its course, that it was not until warned by his companion he st I on the very brink of it, Captain dc llaldimar was made sensible of its .existence. Iloth cleared it nt a single bound, in which Ihe activity of tho female was not the least conspicuous, and, clambering up the opposite steep, secured their footing, by the aid of the same underwood that had assisted them in their descent.On gaining the other summit, which was not done wil bout detaching several loose stones from their sandy bed, they ugain fell into the path, which had been lost sight ol in traversing the ravine. They bad proceeded along this about half n mile, when the ii-malo .suddenly stopped, and pointing ton dim and lurid atmosphere that now began to how itself between the thin foliage, whispered thai in the opening beyond stood the encampment of tin Indians. She then seated herself on the trunk of a fallen tree, that lay at the side of the almost invi-ible path they had hitherto pursued, and mo- tiolii'r- te hi proci eded to f-i-ipai-ion to unhoi-t himself, unlace the fastenin -s of her mocn-.ins, " The foot of the Sugunnw must fall like tin; night dew on the prairie," she observed ; "the ear of the red skin is quicker than thu lightning, and he will know that a pale face is near, if he hear but his trend upon a blade ol grass." The young oilicer had, at the firt suggestion of his guide, divested himself of his hoots preoared to perform the remainder f the journey merely ill his stockings; hut his companion now threw herself on her knees betore h i in, nud, without further ceremony, proceeded to draw over his foot one of the mocassin, she had just relinquished. " The feet of the Sagunnw are soft ns those ()f sl young child," she remarked, in a voice of c nimni-eral ion ; "hut the mocassins of Oucauastn shall protect them from the thorns of the forest." This was too iiu-l-)iiropean, loo much rever-iug the established order of things, to he home patiently. As if he had felt the dignity of his manhood olfended hy the proposal, the officer drew his foot hastily hack, declaring, us he sprang from the log, he did not care lor the thorns, and could not think of depriving u female, who must be much more sensible of pain than himself. Oilcanasta, however, was mil to be outdone in politeness. She calmly reseated herself on the log, drew her right foot over her left knee, caught one of the bunds id' her companion, nud placing it upon the naked sole, desired him to feel how impervious to attack of every description was that indurated portion of the lower limb. This practical argument was not without its weight, and had more etrecl in deciding the oilicer than a volume of remonstrance. When Captain de llaldimar had passed his unwilling hand over the foot id Oucanasta, which, whatever her face might have been, was certainly any thing hut delicate, rniil encountered numerous ragged excrescences and raspy callosities that set all symmetry at defiance, n wonderful revolution came over Ins feelings; and secretly determining the inoca-sins would be e- quatiy .veil piaceit on Ins own leet, lie no longer ntliTed any opposition. This important point arranged, the officer once more followed his guide in silence, (tradually the fore-t, ns they advanced, became lighter with the lurid atmosphere he-fore nlluded to; and at length, through the trees, could be indistinctly seen the luiliaii lires from winch it proceeded. The young man was now de-ired by his conductress to il-e (be utmost circumspection in making the circuit of the wood, in order to gain a position immediately oppo-ile to the point where the path they had hitherto pursued terminated in the opening. This, indeed, was the most dangerous and critical part of the undertaking. A false step, or the crackling of a decayed branch beneath the foot, would have been suilicient to betray proximity, in which case his d n was sealed. l''ortunute did ho now deem himself in having yielded to the c 'el of his guide. Had he retained his unbending hoot, it must have crushed whatever it pressed; whereas, the pliant mocas-iu, yielding to the obstacles it encountered, enabled him to pass noiselessly over them. Still, while exempt from danger on this score, nuother, scarcely less perplexing, became at every instant more obvious; for, as they drew nearer to the point which the female sought to gam, t lis i li tn light of the half-slumbering tires t - J 1 so immediately upon their path, that had a single human e)e been turned in that direction, their di-eovery was inevitable. It was with a beating heart, to which mere per-otial fear, boweier, w-is a stranger, that Captain de Haldi r pertor d this concluding stnge of his adventurous course; but, at ll moment when he considered detection unavoidable, nud was arming himself witli resolution to meet the event, the li-male -uddenly halted, placing, ill the net, the trunk of an enormous beech between her companion and the dusky forms within, whose very breathing could he heard hy Ihe anxious oilicer. Without uttering a word, she took Ins hand, and, drawing biui gently forward, disappeared altogether Irom his view. The young man followed, nnd in the next moment t'oillid hiill-l-lf in the bowelless body o the tree itself; into which, on the -idc of the encampment, holll light nnd sound were admitted by a small aperture lormcd by the natural decay of the wood. The Indian pressed her lips to the ear of lo-r companion, and rather breathed than nin i ne .saganaw win sec mni i,(.;lr i-vc- licari let lii nt treasure in Ins heart. Oucanasta must go. When the council is over shu wilt return, anil h ad him back to bis warriors," With this brief intimation she departed, I anil so noiselessly, iinu llio young nilicer j was not aware uf her absence until some uiilnlles ol silence bad satisfied him she I must begone. His first care then was lo j survey, through the aperture that lay in a level with bis cy e, ttie character of the scene before him. The small plain, in winch lay the encampment of the Indian, was a sort of oasis of the forest, girt round with a rude belt of underwood, nnd somewhat elevated, "o us to present tin! appearance of a mound, constructed on the first principles of art. This was thickly, although irregularly studded with tents, sonic of which were formed of large course mats thrown over poles disposed in u conical shape, while others with more rudely composed of the leafy brandies of the forest. Within these, groups of human tonus lay wrapped in their blankets, stretched at their l.i.y lengili. Others, with their leol placed close to tho dying embers of their lires, diverged like so many radii from their center, and lay motionless in sleep, ns if life nnd consciousness were wholly extinct. Here and there wns to Im seen n solitary warrior securing, wild admirable mjilncss,'ai.J wild delicate ligatures formed of thn si now. of the deer, the "Hiding- feather, or ta.-'hinniiio- t lin bony liurb of his long- arrow; while others, with the fniw, warlike -spirit, in view, uui-ployed themselves in cutting and ruasin' "iiinll patches of smoked deerskin, which wore to secure anil tjivo a more certain di-reel ion to the murderous bullet. Among the warriors were interspersed tunny women, some of whom tingld be seen supporting in their laps tin heavy heads of tlieir unconscious helpmates, while they occupiedthein-selv-es, hy ihe lireliirlit, in parting tho long hl.-icl; in-itleil Inir, and inanitiiiniiijr n (Instructive warliire .-loaiust tliepiirmy inhabitants of that, dark region. These fijjiisul litis nod a"tivi!y in tho buds- -.'tho emu wiii-rally were, however, lint lew iitnlue-e.-isiotuil; hut, at the print wlicro (,'aptuin lie llahli imr stood concealed, the sccno was diil'erent. At a lew yards from tho tree stood a sort of shed, composed of tall poles placed uprii'ht in the cai'lli, nnd siipporlino n roof tunned siinplv of rude botiirlis, the loliiirn nf which had been withered hy time. I Ins simple I'llllice inl'Mit he It bout httv leet in eireitnili'rence. In the center blaH'-d n Inron lire that had been newly fed, nnd around this were assembled n hand of swarthy warriors, snuie twenty nr thirty in iiiiiii!it, who, hy their proud, calm, and tli'iiiltliil'ul bonnnjj, might at once be known to be duels. The laces nf most nf these were fltiniliir to the youno otlieer, who speedily reeog ni.ed fheiu tiir the principals of the various tribes I'onte.-ic had loni-uod in arms tioiiiiis his enemies. That chief himself, ever remarkable for his Iniighly eyo and coin-iiinnilinjr oorture, was of the number of those present; and, n little iilnof Iroin his inleriors, sat, witli his Ibet, slp-telicd towards. Ihe lire, nnd half reclining on his side in nil altitude nt ind ilen a; yet with his mind evidently engrossed hy deep nud absorbing thought. Front so ue observations that distinctly met Ins ear, Captain do llaliliuinr gathered, the parly were only awaiting the arrival of nil important character, without whose presence the lendino chief was unwilling the enntorenco shnuhl beoin. The p riod of the nllieer's concealment hud just been long enouli to en able biui to li.v all these particulars in bis mind, when suddenly the faint report, of a distant rille was heard echoing throughout, the wood. This was instantly succeeded by n second, that sounded morn sharply nn the ear; nud then f dlow d a long and piercing ry tint brought every warrior, even of those who slept, quickly to Ins leet. An nnxiniH interval nf some minutes passed nvvay in the lixoil and listening attitudes, which Ihe (duels (.'specially had assumed, when a noin! resembling that nf smne animal forcing its way rapidly through the rustling branches, was faintly heard in the directum in which the shots h-ul been tired. This gradually nicrea-en as it evi dently approached llio eneampu'nt, and then, distinctly, could be beard the light yet unguarded bounding nf a Im nan fool. t every moment the rustling of the underwood, rapidly divided by the approach-ing term, hoenno more audible; nnd so closely dpi the intruder pr-'ss upon the point in which Cup'aiu ile I lalilnnar was eoueealeil, that that, oilicer, fineyiiig ho h id been betrayed, turned lustily round, nud, grasping one of tin! pistols he had secreted in his chest, prepared himself for a last nnd deadly eu mt r. An instant, or two was suilicient to re-assure him. The for u glided hastily pa t, brushing the tree with Ms garments in its course, and clearing, at a single hound, the bolt of nnderiv I that divided the encampment from t!".' tall Ibrest, stood suddenly among the group uf anxious and expectant chiels. This individual, n man of tall slature, was powerfully mail". Ho wore a jerkin, nr hunting-coat nf leather; nn.l his arms were, n rille which h id every nppearance it Having ptst been discharged, a toina uawK re ug ,.,, moon, nun a scalping , Kline, winch, in the hurry nt some recent service it had been made to perlhrin, had missed its sheath, nnd was thru-t naked into the belt that encircled his loins, 1 1 is countenance wore an expression of malignant triumph; nud ns his eye f-ll on the assembled throng, its se!'-saiislied and exulting gl luce seemed to give them to understand he cauio not without credentials to recommend him to their notice. Cip. tain de llildimir was pirticulurly struck by the air of bold daring and almost insolent recklessness pervading every move- ii t of this man: and it was ilnTc'iill In say whether the haughtiness of bearing peculiar tn l'oiite-ic hiius-lf, was not exceeded by that of this herculean warrior, II.' Ihe Ii nly of chiefs his niipea ranee had been greeted with a mere general grunt "I , appm,,-,,on; but the countenance ol Ihe : leader expressed a more personal interest. ' Ml seemed to expect Im bad something of, moment to c-mimiiuie-iie; tint as it was not consistent, wtlli th" dignity of Indian enqueue to inquire, they waited calmly until ii..hould please tlieir n-sv assneut-! to enter n:i th" hi-slnry of Ins exploits. In pursuance of an invitation from 1'ontoie, he now tool; bis se n on the right hand of tint chief, and iinmedi it -lv facing the tree, I'rnni which Captain de II i iniar. strongly ex eileil both by the reports ol the .shots t It had been lir.-d. and the sight of the bloody loin aha .vk of liie rec-'iiily arrived Indian, ga.ed earnestly and anxiuusly on the swarthy throng. (I'liinciug nncn more triumphantly round the circle, who sat smoking their pipes in calm and delib erativo silence, tho latter now observed the eyo of n young chief, who sat opposite to him, intently riveted on his loll shoulder, lie raised his ham! to the part, withdrew it, looked nt it, and loiind it wet wild, blond. A slight start of surprise betrayed his own uncouscinusuess of llio accident; yot, secretly vexed nt the discovery which bid been tnide, nnd urged probably hy mio nf his wayward fits, he demanded haughtily and insultingly of the young chief, if that was Ilie first nnio do had ever looked on the hlo id of a warrior. "Diesiny brother leol pain!" was the taunting reply. "If he is come to us with atrophy, it is not wilh mt being dourly bought. ThoSigunaw has spill his blood." "Tho weapons ol the Saganaw, lili-i t hose nfihe smooth face nl'tlie Olla-va, are wjtd out sting," angrily retorted tho other. " They only prick the skin like a tliorn; hut when Wacoiista drinks Ile) blood of bis enemy," and he glanced Ilis eye fiercely at the young man, "ii is tho blood next his heart." ".My brother lias always big words upon his lips," relumed tho yuiui' chief, wild ti scornful ptieer nt the implied tlirent nonius! himself. "H it whero nro his proofs!" l'Vir a moment the eye nf llio party llius ohalli'tiircil kindled into llnue, while Ins lipsj were firmly compressed tog-'ther; nnd ns bo half bent himself forward, to senn with greater earnestness llio (natures of bis questioner, his right hand sank to his loft side, tightly grasping the handle of his scrtlping-knile. Tho not ion wns but momentary. Again ho drew himself tip, pulled tho smoke deliberately from h:s bloody tomahawk, and, thru-ling bis riolit hand into his bosom, drew leisurely forth a reeking scalp, which he tossed insol -ill 1 y ncross the lire into the lap of the young chief. A loud and oeneral "ugh!" testilid the appro bation nf the assembled group, at, the unequivocal answer thus given to the demand nt the youth. I he eye of the huge war rior cparliled wi'.li a deep and fciociuus ex ultation "What saystlio smooth face of tho Otto-was now!" bo demanded, in ihe sninn in solent strain. "Does it make his lcnrl sick In look upon tho scalp of a gieat chief!" The Voting man quietly turned the hor rid trophy over several times in his hand. examining it attentively in every part I hen tossing it hack with contemptuous cnohioss to its owner, he replied "The eyes of jny brother tiro wenk with aire, lie is not cunning, like a red skin. The Ottawa lias often seen the Sugunnw in their fori, and he know a tlieir chiefs, have h'no hair like women; but this is like the bristles of the fox. My brother has not, slain n great chief, hut n common warrior." A Hush of irrepressible nnd threatening nnger passed over the leatiiix's of the vast savage, "Is it for a boy," ha fiercely asked, "whoso eyes know not yet the. color nf blood, to judge of the enemies that !Vl by tho tomahawk nf Waooustu! but a great warrior never lionsts of actions that he does not nchieve. It is the son nf the great chief ol' tho Sugunnw whom he has slain. If the smooth face doubts it, and hns cour-ngo to venture, even nt night, within a hundred yards of the fort, he will see a -Saganaw without a scalp; nnd ho will know that Saginaw by his dies-- the dress," lio pursued, with a low omphalic laugh, "that Oucauastn, the sister of the smoolli face, loved so much to look upon." lluicker than thought was the upspring "' ,lr J"".1"-' " fml- W".n i cheek glowing, nn eye llislnng, nnd hi gloamingtniunhawk whirling rapidly round his head, he cleared nt n single hound the lire that separated him from 11,'s juultor. Trie formidable man who hail thus wantonly provoked the attack, was equally prompt in iiieeiing it. At Ihe liri-l movement of tho youth, he too bad leapt to his feet, nnd brandished the terrible weapon that served in the double capacity of pipe anil balded. lioreo yell escaped the lips of each, as they thus met in close and ductile collision, anil the scene Ihr the moment promised to he one nf the most trngio diameter; but before either cnidd lind tin assailable point on which to rest his (iiruiidablo weapon, I'nutoac himself had thruwtt his person between them, and ill a voice of thunder commanded the instant uhaiu'onincnt of their purpose. I'.xasporated even as they now mutually were, the influence of that authority, lor which the great chief of the Ottaw-is wns well known, was in t. without due eff'Ct on the comb Hants. His auger was principally directed against the assailant, on whom the tones of his reproving voice produced n change the intimidation of bis powerful opponent could never have ell'cted. Tho young chief dropped the point of his tomahawk; b iwed bis head in submission; nnd then resuming his seat, sat luring tin; remainder of tho night with bis i ir us lidded, nnd his head bunt in silence ; nvr bis chest. i "O ir brother lias done well," said Pun leae, glancing approvingly at him who had t,M,;,ml t,0 re(.kin,r tr,M),., n, whml hc evidently favored. "IIj is a great chief, and bis words are truth. We heard the n port of his rill-!, and wo nis i heard the cry that told he had homo away tlu scalp of an enemy. Hut we will think of tins to morrow. L"l us now com neiiee uiir talk.' Our readers will readily imagine the loclings of Captain de II aldiioar during ibis short but exciting scene. I''roin the account given by the warrior, there could be nu doubt, th) murdered man was the unhappy llonollan; who, probably, neglecting the caution given him, h id exposed himself to the murderous aim ol thus liorcu being, who was apparently a scout sent for the purp os-! of watching the movements uf tho garrison.

Ciin uis-rat ion for the fate of the iiiifni'tunato Dmcllun naturally induced a ..;,;i i,.,N,.n-,l li.wl,lilv Ci-.ur.h l.i .1... slroyer; nnd it w is with feelings strongly excited in favor of linn whnui lie now discovered to be the brother of bis guide, that he saw him spring li 'rcely to tho attack of liis gigantic opponent. I'd 'ro was nn nc-livity about the young chief amply commensurate with the greal physical power ol his adversary; while tho manner in which ha wielded his tomahawk, proved him to lie any think but the novice in tho use of this lormidabla weapon tin: other had represented him. It was with a leeling ofdis-nppoiiitinent, therelore, wliioli tho peculiarity of bis own position could not overcome, he saw I'outeac iulerposo hnnscll between tho parties. presently, however, a subject of deeper and more absorbing interest than even the fate of liis unhappy lollowor, engrossed overy faculty of his mind, nnd riveted bulb eye and ear in painful tension to Ilia aperture in bis didiug-pl ice. The chiels had resumed their places, and tho silence of a lew minutes had succeeded to tin) lierce utfray nf the warriors; when l'onteue, in a calm and deliberate voice, proceeded to state bo had suuinioneil till the liendsoflhe nation together, to hear a plan do dad to nller for the reduction ol llio last remaining lorls of tlieir civ-mien, .Miehilliui ickuiac and Detroit. Ile pointed nut the tedious-nes of the wiirlnre in w lneli they wore engaged; tdo dcjtfrliou of the limiting- grounds by their warriors; nnd tlp'ir consequent deficiency in nil those articles of t'.uropean trallie which they were tornierly in the liabit of receiving ill exchange for their furs. He dwelt oil the beneficial results that would necri e to ihoui nil in the event of the reduction of those (wo iinpor-tnnt fortresses; since, in that case, they wntihl bo enabled to make such terms with the Knglish ns would secure to them considerable advantages; while, in-lead of being treated with the indignity of a conquered people, they would bo enabled to command respect from the imposing attitude this linal crowning of their successes would enable them to assume. Ho stated that the prudence nid vigilance of tho commanders of these two unreduced fortresses were likely long to bailie, ns had hitherto been the c ise, every open nttemnt nt their capture; and admitted ho had In tie expectation of terrifying idem into n surrender by the panic artilico that had succeeded with the forts on the Ohio nnd Ihe lower lakes. Ihe plan, however, w hich he had to propose, wis one ho fell nsurod would be attenikd with success. Ile would disclose that plan, and the great chiefs should give it tho lid-vantage of tlieir deliberation. Captain ile llahliinar was on the rack. The chief had grndunlly dropped his voice as he explained his plan, until nt length it became so low, that undistingiiisluible sounds nluno reached the car of tho excited oilicer. Kor a moment ho despaired of making himself fully master nf llio important secret; hut in the course of ilie deliberation that ensued, the blanks left uriEtip-plied in tho discourse uf tho leader were abundantly filled up. It was what the rea !er has already seen. The necessities nf the Indians were tube urged as a motive lor tlieir being tired of hostilities. A pence was lo bo solicited; a council held; a ball-playing numng the warriors proposed, ns n mark of their own sincerity and confidence during that council; nud when the garrison, lulled into security, should be thrown entirely oir their guard, iho warriors were to seiz their guns nnd tomahawks, with which (Ihe former cut short, for the better cnncenlinent of tlieir purpose) lb "ir women would be provided, rush in, under pretext of regaining their lost ball; when n univer-snl massacre uf men, women, and children wns to ensue, until nothing wearing the garb of n Saganaw should b"left. It would be tedious lo follow the cbiel through till the minor raniilicaiioiis of bis subtle plan. Sullies it they were of a nature to throw the most wary oil' his guard; and so admirably arranged wns every part, so certain did it, appear tlr'ir enemies must give into the snare, tint the oldest chiefs testilied tlieir iiti:irohaltnn with it vivneily nf manner nnd expression little wont to har.icterize the deliberative meetings of theso reserved people. Hut deepost of all was the approval ol tho till warrior who bad so recently arrived. To him had the discours-; of the leader been principally directed, ns one whoso counsel nnd experience were especially wanting toconlirm him in Ins purpose. II ! wns the last who spoke; but, when he did, it was with n force an energy that must have sunk very olqectioii, even it the plan bad not b"cn so perli'ct nnd unexceptionable ill its roncoctinti ns to have precluded n possibility of all negative argument. During the delivery of his nui mated sp'ecli, his sw art by countenance kindled into fierce and rapidly varyingoxprcssiuil. A thousand dark and complicated passions evidently struggled nt his he.-irl; and as be dwelt leisurely unit emphatically on the saeriticcnf human life that must inevitably attend the adoption of the proposed measure, his eye grew larger, his chest expanded, nay, his very nostril ap- areil to dilate with iiutatboin ably ginloiul exultation. Captain do llaldiiuar thought lie had never gazed nn any thing, wearing the human shape, hall'so atrociou-ly savage. Long bef -re the council was terminated, ike inlerior warriors, who dad been sosud- lenty nrouseu Iroin tlieir slumbering nttt- Itides, h id again retired lo their tents, and stretched their lazy length before tde em hers of their lires. Tde weary chiefs now prepared to follow their example. They emptied the ashes from the bowls uf their pijie-totnaliawks, replaced them carefully at their side, rose, and retired to their respective tents. I'ontene am) tho tall warrior iilona remained. I'W a time they conversed earnestly together. The dinner listened attentively to some observations made to dim hy liis companion, in tde course of which, tho words "chief nf the -S iginaw fort spy enemy," and two or. threo others equally unconnected, were alone audible to the ear of him who so attentively sought lo catch the slightest soiimi. no then thrust ins Hand under his UOU, Ua II III I.IMIIMIM'IIII.11 .11 I what bo had been stating, exhibited a coil of rope and the glossy boot of nn I'mglish oilicer.
